The Daily News reports that the owners of Chelsea Market have decided to transform a building they bought in LIC back in May 2012 into another umm, Market. They can’t call it LIC Market because we already have a great restaurant by that name. It’s also in a forlorn area of LIC, basically it’s on the wrong side of the tracks. They’re really going to have to flex their marketing muscle to draw a crowd over there. But they’ve done it before, so we’ll assume they know what they’re in for. Can’t say it’s much of a surprise though. We hinted at a possible transformation back when they first purchased it, and then a year later when we heard the head of the project, Michael Phillips, speak at a local real estate conference. For those in the business of speculating in real estate, you may want to take a stroll over to those parts. It’s the last area left where there might be a few bargains.
